M38A1 Tools
Dad bought a bunch of surplus jeeps in the 70's fortunately for me he kept the tools before selling the jeeps. I found these in storage and plan on displaying with my M38a1. Any suggestions on removing cosmoline?
not sure about this screwdriver. It did not have a wrapper or stock number.

I've always used gasoline and a brush. Otherwise, mineral spirits should work, too.

Re: M38A1 Tools
Too late on the no unwrap. I couldn't resist. Fortunately i have another set unwrapped.
Unfortunately i do not have the jack or handle. I do have the hub socket not pictured. It has a Ford stamp on it.

Re: M38A1 Tools
Digging up a bit of an old thread here: JB - what markings, manufacture, etc. are identified on the crescent wrench and the pliers?

Re: M38A1 Tools
Utica Tools on the pliers and I think 708 s Proto on the adjustable wrench the cosmoline is thick.
